I recently got the chance to try out a rather sexy set of headphones that certainly fall into the ‘Luxury’ category. These are the new Atomic Floyd Twistjax Headphones that incorporate something called Twist2Fit™technology.
I don’t know about you lot, but most in-ear headphones are a nightmare to keep in, especially when you exercise. Well, fret no more… these beauties are designed to adjust so as they stay in! They also have unparalleled sound quality and I’ve tried a few! I would recommend these over Stenheiser and Bose equivalents and if sound quality is high on your agenda, you’ll not be disappointed. You’ll also feel that your £120 has been well spent.
The twist aspect to these headphones means that you can adjust them to be more stable as well as comfortable. There’s not a n ear these won’t fit apparently.
I have just had the pleasure of testing out a pair of luxurious Atomic Floyd headphones.
Atomic Floyd is a new brand in this arena, and for a first effort they have come up with something quite astounding. The concept was developed by an international collective – from New York, London and Hong Kong – and made for “those who have a global outlook and like to escape”. I’m not sure about global outlook, but the sound quality certainly felt like an escape.
Atomic Floyd say:
“The brand born was born out of obsession, the offspring of a pioneering collective of designers and engineers from Nike, Phillips and adidas. Their belief: that superb sound and great aesthetics should go hand in hand. Their method: years spent pushing industry boundaries through experimentation, invention, testing and crafting. The result: slick, sexy in-ear headphones with jaw-dropping acoustic performance.”
To say that the sound quality was superb, might be an understatement and they look uber cool to boot.

Check out the new XS1 series from Sharp, which is in fact the slimmest TV available on the planet at the moment at just 2.3 cms deep.
There are two models available, the 52” model priced at approximately £9,000 and the 65” one available from around £11,000.
“The XS1 Series AQUOS LCD TVs feature a new RGB-LED backlight system that delivers possibly the finest image quality with ultimate visibility of deep blacks. Enhanced environmental performance is achieved through a new system designed to lower power consumption by adjusting the screen brightness in response to the brightness of the surrounding environment. And, since the TVs are only one inch (2.3 cm) thick at the thinnest part, Sharp and Pioneer Corporation jointly developed a thin-design speaker system that incorporates Sharp’s unique 1-Bit digital amplifier to offer natural, clear sound.”

Bang & Olufsen recently announced the launch of its new digital audio master (new name for a stereo!), called the BeoSound 5. It certainly looks a little more than a stereo… and it is!
It’s a rather tasty gadget with glowing dials and digital screens that I’m sure will become a living room centerpiece with many a jealous bloke admiring its charm and charisma.
For around £3,500 this little beauty will give you exceptional music quality, being able to play lossless music on its 500GB drive proving that the convenience and ease of digital music does not mean compromising on sound quality.
